Is wheat easy to grow? I am thinking of adding in another field half some kind of wheat and half oats.

Yes it is very easy. I usually plant winter wheat. You plant it after the first frost and basically ignore it till harvest time.

If you have a lot of wind storms, might need to encircle it with chicken wire or something so it doesn't blow over.

I harvest it by hand just cut off long stalks and stick in a vase till it's good and dry, then beat it against a bucket, then you throw it up in the air in front of a fan to get rid of the chaff.

Vacuum seal in mason jars with desiccant and oxygen absorber. Grind it when needed.
